Voice

Garfield's Mother (voiced by Sandi Huge) is the mother of Garfield. She first appeared in the animated television special Garfield on the Town and later appeared in the special Garfield: His 9 Lives. She has also made a few cameos in the comic strip, including a December 1984 story, which was a loose adaptation of Garfield on the Town.

She gave birth to Garfield in an Italian restaurant. Garfield was taken away from his mother and became Jon Arbuckle's pet while he was still a very small kitten. In the animated television special, Garfield on the Town, Garfield accidentally finds himself back in the now abandoned restaurant where he was born. He is reunited with his mother and meets other members of his family, including his brother Raoul, who still live there.

A group of vicious, sadistic cats called "The Claws" develop a grudge against Garfield, and Garfield's family comes in to protect him. When Garfield is told by his maternal grandfather to leave for lacking the proper traits of a mouse hunting cat, including the proper ability to fight back, he was about to leave the restaurant until his mother notes that she still loves him, and that his life with Jon is for the best. At the end of the episode when Garfield comes back to Jon, he sees a tail (which was his mother's) outside of Garfield's house when he looks out the window, letting him know that she will always be there for him.

Another one of her few appearances was on November 5, 1994.
